In the spring of 1860, the bishop of Leavenworth, Kansas, came to Denver to establish the Catholic Church. In the ensuing years, Douglas County Catholics met in homes and received sacraments from selected Franciscan friars.
In 1887, the Very Reverend J. B. Machebeuf visited Castle Rock to inspect the site for the new church and was quite pleased with the work that had been done. The church was used until the new church was built in 1966 and was then vacant until 1975 when it was remodeled and no longer a church.
Well, not quite vacant. Even today the ghost of a little girl, dressed in white, may be seen.
To claim this geocache email the current name of the building.
